Big Dreams Small Spaces hosted by Monty Don BBC2 Episode 2.
Monty Don showed images of our fibreglass container ponds in this episode.
For links to the products Monty showed:
- 80cm fibreglass granite finish container - planted up with a selection of pond plants aimed at bringing wildlife into the garden.
- Place all the emergent pond plants in the Support Ring included in the kit so they do not fall over.
- Iris versicolor and Primula florindae attract airborne wildlife insect pollinators to the container pond-in-a-pot. We actually had a bee on the Mentha cervina while photographing this image shoot!
- Can't beat that to make a point!
- 60cm Weeping Red planted for shade using pond plants in the Support Ring provided to hold them at the correct depth.
- Shade loving plants tend to be green, structural and architectural in shape with seed heads rather than colourful flowers. Here Isolepis cernua, Cyperus involucratus, and Equisetum scirpoides.
- Anemopsis californica is good at flowering in a more shaded situation.
